ODM-Kenya have now gotten a reputation for being very quick to take to the streets in their famous protest marches.
The party's registration delayed and ODM leaders and supporters swiftly marched to the AG's chambers in protest. Recently the ECK (Electoral Commission of Kenya) said that the party was not allowed to use its' famous orange symbol. The party promptly took to the streets and marched to the ECK headquarters at Anniversary Towers.

The ECK seems to have bowed to pressure and swiftly relaxed their tough stance on the issue.
The time has come for Kenyans to start asking themselves a very simple question; for how long are they going to be used by politicians for their selfish ends? Over 100 innocent Kenyans have lost their lives in the strange Mount Elgon clashes. ODM have not matched anywhere in protest.
Mungiki adherents killed a number of drivers and touts on the Thika route but as far as the ODM high command was concerned, mum was the word. None of these national disasters was as important as a stupid party symbol or a piece of paper registering an unworkable, unpractical coalition that is sure to self destruct before December.
Kenyans are very fond of defending their favourite political candidates, or even worse candidates fro their tribes. Yet, as has been quite rightly pointed out by our readers in some of their hard hitting comments, the fact that the president comes from your community will not benefit you in any way. During Moi's long 24 year tenure, how many members of the Kalenjin community (or to be more specific the Turgen) benefited directly from that fact. I assure you that te number does not come anywhere near 100.
So if the next president of Kenya turns out to be your tribe, what benefits do you see accruing to you as an individual?
Ladies and Gentlemen these jokers have hoodwinked us and it is time we opened our eyes. When a Kenyan politician steals public funds and lives in luxury constituents cannot even get to see him, let alone get a small share of the loot. However as soon as justice threatens to catch up, the same crook starts provoking tribal sentiments and issues press statements to the effect that such and such a tribe is being "finished" politically. As expected members of his tribe will quickly rise to his defense.
These ODM protest marches always leave a very bad taste in my mouth. And it seems that Narc-Kenya have also caught the fever. Yesterday there was a very big demonstration across town in Nairobi in support of 80 year old, aging and ailing President Kibaki being given another 5-year term to lead Kenya. Oh Please!!

You must be Kibaki's personal physician to know that the guy is sick. Very intelligent analysis keep up the good work Chris!
ReplyDeleteYou are going overboard. Who told you Kibaki is very sick. Adhere to journalistic ethics. He is not sick. He is up and about.
